The sun was already rising when Karenina opened her eyes, last night she couldn't sleep thinking about William asking her to get married when William clearly knew Karenina didn't want to have a relationship that would bind her.
When he opened his eyes earlier, he already did not see William beside him. The man must have gone to the office while he was still sleeping. Must have been files piled up on his desk for him to check.
‘Ck, I'm really awkward to see William later. But want to get to when is also like gini’, Karenina sighs dropping herself on a soft sofa. There was already his favorite mocaccino and also the sandwich he found on the table, perhaps William made it.
Drttt. Karenina dropped the phone from her hand because she was surprised, there was a grill coming in while she was engrossed in seeing her social media.
“Om Malik” Karenina reads the name on her phone screen, then she quickly shifts the green icon that vibrates up and down it.
“Nina, finally aunty can find you”, Karenina was surprised instead of playing hear a voice across the phone. The voice of the woman he also avoided for his entire life, somehow his aunt could find his contact even though his om had already disguised his name in contact so that three years this woman could not contact him.
For three years, Karenina and her omnya were still in contact despite being clandestine. He did not want it until his wife found out about Karenina's whereabouts because she would definitely tell Halim.
“Om you accident Nina, she is unconscious now”, said the woman across with a trembling voice like holding back a cry. Karenina once again dropped her phone in surprise, fortunately the fall was still above her thighs.
Karenina picked up her suitcase, packed up her belongings and rushed towards the airport. He cried all the way to the airport, unable to imagine if he had to lose his only surviving parents, who still cared for him and loved him selflessly.
Luck sided with him, he got a ticket and was about to depart an hour later.
‘Will, I'm going to Lampung huh. Um I was in an accident and now unconscious in the hospital, I want to be next to him now. I'll let you know as soon as I get there’. Sent, that message Karenina sent.
After a short journey, Karenina arrived in Lampung. He went straight to the hospital where he was treated, his aunt sent him a message.
Karenina ran like crazy while pulling her suitcase looking for the hospital ugd room, a nurse told her the crash victim was at that place.
His steps came to a halt, he adjusted his breath that was gasping from running around and worrying. There was a sense of relief mixed up in his heart, he ran to hug the middle-aged man who looked at him longingly.
“Om, I am very afraid that om also left me like a father with mother” he said hugging the man.
“Finally you come home also”, the woman next to her om who is none other than her aunt looks at her in annoyance. For a long time, his wife never liked him.
“Rina”, Malik reprimands his wife, Rina glances at Karenina's annoyance and releases the hand she held in her husband's arm to clean it up.
Next to Karenina's hand, she grabbed her om and next to her pulled her suitcase. In front of the hospital lobby, Karenina is again surprised to see Halim waiting for them.The man takes Karenina's suitcase and leads them to his car. Karenina could only resign and follow Hallim.
During the trip, Halim and Rina who were sitting in front were engrossed in telling stories, Karenina did not hear what they were talking about at all. Not because they were talking whispers, but because she was busy thinking about how to escape this time.
“Im sorry om, om was about to send a message to you asking if you are okay after meeting Halim, but instead to sambar motor. People who sambar om bring om to the hospital and give om phone to your aunt, and your aunt saw the message that has not been sent it”.
Malik felt very sorry that he could not hide his beloved daughter from his wife forever. He knew the evil intentions of his wife who wanted to marry Karenina to Halim so that Rina could get the money that Halim promised.
Karenina clasped her rough hand, stroked it warmly and smiled.
“Nothing, I'm even grateful to see you again. I can't imagine how I am if until om why-napa”. He said calm Malik down.
“So what are your plans?”
“You do not need to return to Jakarta, your marriage is the same Halim will be held next week”, Rina appeared suddenly with her statement made Karenina jerked. Karenina clenched her hands, it felt like her patience with her wife had reached its limit.
“Whatever aunt to arbitrarily arrange my marriage, did aunt ask me to agree or not. Why aunt decides my future as hell”. Lina took a few steps forward, now that she was already standing right in front of Karenina.
“You are now so insolent yes, is it because you already live in Jakarta so you have felt great to dare to fight me”, hardik Rina. “you forgot who raised you up like this, hah”.
Karenina grunts “is indeed the aunt who raised me, om Malik who has raised me with affection while aunt only treats me like a maid. Aunty has no right to interfere in my life”.
“Bare you ya”
Plaque…
“RINAA”, Malik rebukes his wife hard after one slap he landed on Karenina's cheek. During this time Lina always held herself back from physically hurting Karenina because of her dislike of her husband. she only tormented him with endless homework until Karenina felt that she was only being made a maid by Rina.
“This is the result because you overindulge him, he is just your dead sister's child, he is not your biological child.”.
“Quite, Nina is my son and I don't want you to hurt my son”, Malik said loudly. As Rina's hatred for Karenina grows, Karenina has always been the source of her quarrel with her husband ever since the woman lived with them.
“You're okay” Malik saw Karenina's cheeks flushed against the former slap of his wife, Rina who was getting annoyed to see him leave them with anger.
“My room no more om?” ever since she left the house, Rina dismantled her room and made it into a warehouse. Very tired Karenina doesn't know where to rest herself.
Then she remembered the no-limit card William had given her. “I stay at the hotel only om”, he said.
“Nginap in hotel is expensive, you have money?” Karenina nodded with a smile.
“We went for a walk before I returned to Jakarta”. Malik smiled rubbing his hair “Sorry, om can not take you”, his legs are still a little sore after the accident earlier. Just a bruise on his leg, the rest of the middle-aged man looked fine.
Rina just lied to Karenina to get the woman to go home, she could not wait to get the money that Hali promised after successfully marrying Karenina to him. Hearing his omnya had an accident until unconscious made Karenina panic and immediately went home to see the state of his omnya without thinking anything.
Karenina managed to check in using the card that William gave her, she chose a three-star hotel located not far from her home.
“So cool, that magic granny already dared to slap me. In front of Malik again. She could be more reckless later”, Karenina compressing her bruised cheeks with ice cubes that she had requested from the hotel attendant.
“I will face aunt Rina and Halim, why should I be afraid and hide all this time. I won't let anyone ruin my wonderful life, I have William, he'll help me.”.
